The Hottie Billionaire Series: Romancing A Banking Magnate (The Billionaire Meets The Damsel In Distress)
if amused, while
she was losing hope. “You sound as if it was a job position,” he
blandly commented.
    Well, it was. At least, for her. But
she kept her mouth shut.
    What would she do now? Her world was
crumbling down, and it wasn’t a good thing. She traveled all the
way from down South just to try her luck. She spent her last dime
of money for this. She hadn’t bothered to double check if the
ad was still active after two weeks, as she was really determined
to snatch the coveted position. Now, she felt stupid for doing so.
If she had just used her common sense, she hadn’t wasted her
precious money for nothing.
    She started to hyperventilate. What
would happen to her now? To her family? To their farm? Oh my God!
She couldn’t think of the darn possibilities. Her brain refused to
process the unwanted thought.
    “ Well, to answer your
question, no, I haven’t had someone filled the ‘position’ yet,” he
gave emphasis to the word ‘position.’
    He was still sporting that amused look
on his face, but that was enough to ease the boulder of rock in her
chest. It was good news, at least. Hope sprang in her heart again.
“So, can I still apply?” she asked eagerly. If she could just beg
at him, she would do so in a snap of a finger.
    He looked at her intimidatingly, but
she did her best to remain calm. She fought his intent stare,
oblivious of the fact that he seemed into her. Her stomach wanted
to lurch, as his eyes bored into her soul, but she toughened her
resolve. She knew that she had to use her charms to get him under
her spell, but she was so overwhelmed by his bloody presence, that
she couldn’t flirt with him anymore.
    “ Would you like me to
consider you for the position?” he asked, after some
time.
    “ Of course!” she answered
in an instant. That was the reason why she was here in the first
place! She wanted to be picked as his choice.
    He ran his pinkie over his lip again,
his eyes hooded at her. There were a lot of things that mirrored in
his eyes, intensifying the mysterious smoke in his irises, making
his gray eyes appear darker. Her throat constricted in tension, but
she tried her best to fight his intent stare.
    Making an eye contact was
one of the things that men watch out for when they want to hit on a
woman, she reminded herself. But when his stare landed on her lips,
something in his eyes flickered, a burning flame of desire, that
gave her chills. She looked away, and darted her eyes to the glass
wall. She saw the magnificent backdrop of the flourishing Metro. It
was breathtaking. But not as breathtaking as Xavier
Yuchengco.
    “ But tell me this first,
Katrina…”
    Her eyes darted back at him. He looked
serious this time around.
    “ Why should I consider
you?”
    She was about to open her
mouth when his stare landed on her chest. He didn't hide the malice
in his eyes, as he raked the swell of her breasts as if he was
undressing her. She felt as if something envelope through her, like
a surge of heat that instantly lighted a fire under her seat, and
her body shuddered involuntarily. She gasped silently at her body's
reaction. My, but that was carnal!
    Her cheeks burned. It was
hard to feel at ease under his intense gaze, and the feeling of
uneasiness tripled when he made it apparent that he was sexually
checking her out. 
    Unknowingly, she pulled her bag up,
arranged it in a way that it covered her breasts. But then, she
realized that she had to display her assets to him. She had to
seduce him. And what she was doing was kinda stupid. So she willed
herself to remove the bag in front of her chest, so that he could
freely look at her nice pair of rack.
    His eyes darted back on her face. She silently
swallowed the lump in her throat. My goodness! Something between
them was building up, a sinister attraction that appeared difficult
for her to handle.
    "Anyways, are you fertile?" it was a
straightforward question.
    She still hadn't recovered from his previous
question when he fired her
